So far, I have to agree.

Yes. If I plug that line into Line IN of my soundcard I get audio. I actually 
tried to feed composite into the TV card and audio into my soundcard. 
Used "mplayer /dev/video0" and it kind of worked. But it isn't a solution for 
two reasons:

1. 
Audio and video are far out of sync that way.

2.
My goal isn't to watch tapes but to burn old tapes to DVDs. For that, I need 
the MPEG2 stream coming out of /dev/video0 to be combined video and audio.
